## First Understanding: Description of Two-Sensed Beings
**O Bhagavan!** How many bodies are said to be of these beings? **Gautama:** Three bodies are said to be, namely - Odaric, Tejas and Karman.
**O Bhagavan!** How much is the perception of the body of these beings said to be? **Gautama:** From the lowest, an immeasurable part of an angul, and from the highest, twelve yojanas.
These beings have Sewart-Sanhanan and Hund-Sansthan. They have four Kshayas, four Sanjnas, three Leshyas and two Indriyas. They have three Samudghatas - Vedana, Kshaya and Maranatik.
These beings are not Sanjni, they are Asanjni. They are Napunsakaved-wala. They have five Paryaptis and five Aparyaptis.
They are both Samyagdristi and Mithyadristi, but not Samyagmithyadristi (mixed vision). They are not Avadhi-darshan-wala, not Chakshu-darshan-wala, they are Achakshu-darshan-wala, not केवलदर्शन-wala.
**O Bhagavan!** Are these beings knowledgeable or ignorant? **Gautama:** They are both knowledgeable and ignorant. Those who are knowledgeable are, by rule, two knowledgeable - Mati-gyani and Shruti-gyani.
Those who are ignorant are, by rule, two ignorant - Mati-agyani and Shruti-agyani.
These beings are not Manoyog-wala, they are Vachan-yog and Kay-yog-wala. These beings are both Sakar-upayog-wala and Anakar-upayog-wala.
The food of these beings is, by rule, the Pudgalas of six directions. Their Upapat (origin from another birth) is from the rest of the Tiryanch and humans, except for the Naryik, Dev and those with an age of countless years.
Their state is from the lowest, Antarmuhurt, and from the highest, twelve years. They die both by Samvahat and Asamvahat from the Maranatik Samudghata.
**O Bhagavan!** Where do they go after death? **Gautama:** Except for the Naryik, Dev and Tiryanch humans with an age of countless years, they go to the rest of the Tiryanch humans.
Therefore, these beings go in two Gatis, they come from two Gatis, they are each-bodied and countless. This is the description of the two-sensed beings.
**Discussion:** While describing the types of two-sensed beings, the Sutrakar has said "Pulakrimi Yavat Samudralikasha".
The word "Yavat" here should be taken to include all those types of beings that are mentioned in the Prajnapanasutra under the authority of two-sensed beings. The complete types are as follows:
* **Pulakrimi:** Worms born in the excrement door.
* **Kukshikrimi:** Worms born in the Kukshi (abdomen).
* **Gandoayalaka:** Gindola.
